here >> first of all, as you know, i have supported the obama administration's foreign policy and i want them to succeed. i'm concerned that there is a danger of confusion confusing the process by wch the change of government stays in place with a contest that has to take place after this. i do not think the administration will be in a position to put itself at the head of the true democratic parade around the world baby becoming too involved in the process of changing the governmental structure of egypt. in fact, i believe that if the process of changing the government is structured, it's not well-conducted. the more important contest that will come afterwards when the non-democratic and anti-democratic forces begin to organize each other will become much more difficult to contest. right now the radical and extremist and jihadist forces want somebody to create the democratic space so that they can afterwards pursue their objectives, many of which are against our interests and in the process of moving towards a democratic system we should keep in mind that there are two separate eff

. >> then president obama in washington said this. >> today belongs to the people of egypt. and the american people are moved by these scenes in cairo and across egypt because of who we are as a people. and the kind of world that we want our children to grow up in. the word tahrir means liberation. there is a word that speaks to that something in our souls that cries out for freedom. and forever more it will remind us of the egyptian people. and what they did, of the things that they stood for. and how they changed their country and in doing so, changed the world. >> rose: it is hard, very hard to express the emotion that is so powerful on the streets of this city. here's some of the scenes my producers shot with bhee as we came to the studio this evening. >> . >> we are a revolution . >>> . >> these pictures speak volumes but make no mistake, the hard work is just beginning. the people who have made this day from all sides now come together to try to reshape a country. we begin our conversation about this day in just a moment. >> we are now here with hafez al mirazi, a talk

and that will be a fill your for the obama administration. so i think administration is taking the view at least that it can influence, pressure suleiman with whom we have a close relationship into doing what is promised. producing these reforms within six months, finding time for political parties to come into being, talk to the egyptian people. it's all pretty far-fetched in a way when you think of the very close time frame. and certainly elbaradei says it's not possible. we need mubarak to go, he says, and we need a year to prepare elections. >> rose: i want to turn to one thing that i thought you wrote about really well, which is the sense of dignity that pervades the people that you have met. i'm quoting now from a man who said "why would we trust him now to play it right?" that's the question the west hand answered. you say "the deeper problem is more culture than political, to accept the mubarak or chaos argument is a form of disrespect to the civility and capacity of tahrir square. it's an expression of western failure before the expl

is obama down? i think what's responsibility that democracy groups like n.d.i. in america and different n.g.o.s involved in democracy promotion, i was talking to one of the older people in the square but a doctor who's definitely part of this process he said what we desperately need are the building blocks of civil society. mubarak never let us have that. the only people who have it are muslim brothers. so they have powerful n.g.o.s. they have the abilitto organize. they have a political arm. the authentic very powerful group, they don't have that. and the best thing we can do... two things we can do for egypt that would... one is at the n.g.o. end level get over here. get over here and simply volunteer not to order, not direct, not dictate but to say do you need to know how to organize these kind of things? here's our experience. >> rose: egypt can now open itself up to all of the intelligence and all of the creativity in the world to join their own process. >> and there's one last thing we can do
